Abstract
Enhanced Rock Weathering is a proposed Carbon Dioxide Removal technology involving the application of crushed silicate rocks, such as basalt, to agricultural soils with potential cobenefits for crops and soils, and mitigation of ocean acidification. Here we address the requirement of diverse stakeholders for informative studies quantifying possible environmental and health risks of Enhanced Rock Weathering. Using life-cycle assessment modelling of potential supply chain impacts for ...
Substantial carbon drawdown potential from enhanced rock weathering in the United Kingdom
Euripides P. Kantzas, Maria Val Martin, Mark R. Lomas, Rafael M. Eufrasio, Phil Renforth, Amy L. Lewis, Lyla L. Taylor, Jean-Francois Mecure, Hector Pollitt, Pim V. Vercoulen, Negar Vakilifard, Philip B. Holden, Neil R. Edwards, Lenny Koh, Nick F. Pidgeon, Steven A. Banwart, David J. Beerling
Abstract
Achieving national targets for net-zero carbon emissions will require atmospheric carbon dioxide removal strategies compatible with rising agricultural production. One possible method for delivering on these goals is enhanced rock weathering, which involves modifying soils with crushed silicate rocks, such as basalt. Here we use dynamic carbon ...
